Teacher recommendation: “Mallory Novy exemplifies a stellar student in everything she does as well as through who she is as a person. I have had the honor and privilege to have Mallory as a student for the past seven years. During this time, I was able to watch her grow from a quiet little sixth-grader into the remarkable young woman she is today. Mallory has always been a quiet leader, leading more by example than with her voice. She is calm, compassionate, dedicated and works hard at everything she does. Even through difficult times, Mallory is a source of strength and inspiration to those around her. Mallory has always been mature beyond her years, which makes her a great role model for our younger students and athletes. She makes success look easy, both in academics and in sports; however, it is her determination, passion and work ethic that make her so successful both in and out of the classroom. Mallory is the epitome of a student athlete, blending both seamlessly into her life while still maintaining great relationships with her peers, friends, family and staff members." — Melissa Zipperer, family and consumer science teacher

Cameran Hoefner plans to study mechanical engineering

Name: Cameran Hoefner

Parents: Scott and Jobeth Hoefner

School: Reedsville High School

Grade: Senior

GPA: 4.0

What extracurricular activities have you been involved with during high school? I have been involved in National Honor Society, FCCLA, student government, and recently I became involved with Reedsville Go. In addition, I have participated in cross country and track every year since my freshman year.

What is one academic accomplishment about which you feel particularly good? I am very proud of maintaining my 4.0 GPA all throughout my high school career, even while taking college courses. It has truly taught me the meaning of dedication and hard work.

Which class or extracurricular activity influenced your decision regarding the career you plan to pursue? My goal to pursue a career in engineering began in middle school science class when we had STEM days. It was the first time I was introduced to engineering, and I realized how much I enjoyed applying math and science principals to solve problems.

If you are considering going to college after high school, one piece of advice I would give you is to enroll in as many dual-credit college courses as you can.
